The swordsman is a relatively complete swordsman novel. At the end of the book, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu are finally reunited after 16 years of lovesickness, and Guo Jing repels the Mongol army with the help of Yang Guo, bringing Xiangyang back to its former serenity and peace.
It was not until we opened the follow-up work Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre that we were surprised to find that Guo Jing died in Xiangyang City. With Guo Jing's martial arts and Huang Rong's materials such as gods, Xiangyang City should be impregnable, and the reason why Xiangyang City was breached by the Mongols has a lot to do with the traitors in the city.
As early as in the era of divine sculpture, Guo Jing had integrated the eighteen palms of Jianglong and the Nine Yin True Sutra together, with the supreme realm of combining strength and softness. That palm out, unexpectedly have overlapping 13 stamina. In addition, Guo Jing was able to integrate the eighteen palms of the dragon and the Tiangbei fighting array together, and unexpectedly, he was able to shuttle back and forth in the position with one into seven.
Guo Jing also knew Yue Fei's Wu Mu's Last Letter by heart, and his beloved wife Huang Rong was the best assistant. Huang Rong could give Guo Jing advice whether it was military war or economic livelihood.
As long as the couple are around, what is Kublai Khan's 100,000 iron horse? We can turn to Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, but as readers, we see this original text: on the day the city of Xiangyang was broken, Guo Jiaxia and his wife were martyred at the same time as Guo Gong, and the dragon swords were missing. Guo Zushi was in Xichuan at that time, waiting to save his parents and relatives, but it was too late.
Some readers here will say that it is inevitable that Guo Jing will die, which is inextricably related to Jin Yong's writing style.
Second, writing styleIt turns out that most of Jin Yong's swordsman novels follow the real history. He not only compiles the plot through the real historical events, but also turns the historical figures into swordsmen, which leads to one brilliant story after another.
In the real history, the city of Xiangyang was indeed destroyed by Kublai Khan of Mongolia, and then the Mongol army drove straight in, thus establishing the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Therefore, no matter how good Guo Jing's martial arts are and no matter how clever Huang Rong's tricks are, neither of them can turn the tide to change the real history. In addition, Guo Jing is a great knight-errant for the country and the people, and it is impossible for him to uphold the idea of "keeping Castle Peak without firewood" and then abandon Xiangyang City and abandon the people. Jin Yong can only conform to the trend and turn Guo Jing into a tragic hero who died in battlefield.
Having said that, if we use martial arts stories to explain, how can we explain that Guo Jing, who is guarded by one man and is difficult to capture by thousands of troops, will die at the hands of Kublai Khan?
There is only one answer, that is, there is a traitor around Guo Jing, this traitor is not trivial, and his defection directly makes Xiangyang City fall into a very dangerous situation. And this traitor is not only afraid of death, but also a lecherous person who has long had fantasies about the charming Huang Rong.
Third, I have long been crazy about Huang Rong.Could this traitor be Yeluqi, Huang Rong's son-in-law? Only because, according to historical records, Yeruqi's father, Yeluchucai, had an extremely ambiguous relationship with Kublai Khan. If Yeruqi defected and collaborated with the enemy, Guo Jing could not fly even if he had three heads and six arms.
However, according to the original text left by Jin Yong in "The Condor Heroes," Yelu Qi could not be afraid of death and betray Guo Jing. It turned out that in the battle of Xiangyang City, Yang Guo once held a heavy sword and opened a bloody path for Ye Luqi. However, Ye Luqi not only did not leave with Yang Guo, but said this sentence without hesitation: " Brother Yang, thank you for saving me. However, I still have my subordinates surrounded. I can't be alone. I want to die with them."
How can such a person who is not afraid of death make the absurd act of betraying Guo Jing 13 years later? Interestingly speaking, it is possible for a historical figure to defect to the enemy and betray Guo Jing.
As mentioned earlier, most of Jin Yong's martial arts novels follow historical events, the shooting and carving trilogy uses a lot of history, and many real historical figures emerge, and the appeasement of Xiangyang City makes Lu Wenhuan a historical figure. Jin Yong also wrote it into the book.
It is written in the book that appeasement makes Lu Wenhuan look at such momentum. Seeing that he can't resist it, he runs to Guo Jing with an earthy face and cries, "Guo." Master Guo, I can't hold it, let's. Let's retreat from the south of the city! " Guo Jing snapped, "Why did Pacification make such a remark?" Xiangyang is, we are here, Xiangyang is dead, we are dead! "
Even though Guo Jingli led elite troops out of the city to meet the enemy, Lu Wenhuan was still trembling with fear. Jin Yong wrote that pacification made Lv Wenhuan afraid to come to the city and was dressed in iron armor, but he took two beloved concubines to hide in the castle and trembled, and the two concubines rubbed his heart and mouth and wiped the foam around his mouth.
Notice that at a time when his life is at stake, Lu Wenhuan is hiding in the castle with two beloved concubines. This proves that Lu Wenhuan attaches great importance to these two concubines and regards them as a part of their lives, which shows that Lu Wenhuan is also a "hero" and a man with a lust for beauty.
Since Lu Wenhuan likes romance, he naturally pays close attention to Huang Rong, who is as beautiful as a flower. Indeed, although Huang Rong at this time is not full of youth in the past, she is also a charming and charming beauty. Only because of Guo Jing, who swallowed mountains and rivers, otherwise Lu Wenhuan would have racked his brains to get Huang Rong.
Anyway, why did Jin Yong write the historical figure Lv Wenhuan like this? In fact, Jin Yong's writing is still traceable. In the history book "New Yuan History," Volume 177·Biography 74, it is written: Xiangyang has been surrounded for five years, and the whole plan Xiang and Fan lips and teeth should be attacked first. The people of Fancheng built fences outside the city, cut down trees and placed them in the river, and tied them with iron chains. Li Zheng told the Prime Minister Bayan to order those who were good at swimming to cut off the trees and sink the ropes. He urged the warships to rush to the city and fire back and forth to burn the fence. In May of the tenth year, Fancheng was defeated. Tang Yongjian was sent to Xiangyang to inform Lv Wenhuan that Fancheng would surrender. On the merit, reward the whole farmland house, gold coins, good horses.
You see, in history, Lu Wenhuan did choose to surrender. It was through this historical event that Jin Yong wrote Lv Wenhuan into his martial arts novels, making him a man who feared death and was lecherous.
Guo Jing had such a despicable person lurking around him. He was also the pacifier in charge of Xiangyang City's lifeline. With Lu Wenhuan and Kublai Lie secretly "flirting", Guo Jing no matter how hard he worked, no matter how hard he fought, he could only end up dead in Xiangyang City.
